About Us

Table Fourteen is the project of husband and wife team, Phil Stockton and Anne Smith, who live and work in the Great Western Catskills of New York. 

Phil has decades of experience as Mac engineer, professional actor, educator, DJ and stage manager.  While working remotely during the Covid-19 pandemic, Phil made a couple of coffee tables for our outdoor lounge, and instantly fell in love with carpentry and woodwork.  He began making custom table lamps in 2020.  Once Phil became skilled as a carpenter, he learned how to weld so that he could expand on the work he was able to produce.  Hammer and light now features an assortment of handmade home decor.

Anne began her professional career first as a cook, and then as a graphic designer.  She worked for years as a producer of traditional cell animation, before pivoting to launch and run a Los Angeles cooking school, then a candy business in Oregon.  She has always loved to express herself visually, and in 2022 returned to one of her favorite hobbies of printmaking.  Table Fourteen textiles combine graphics created with cut paper, linoleum cut printmaking and more.
